Right, joinin'. Been a bit busy, mates...

Murcel Rortyre
Species: Ferret

Gender: Male

Background: Rortyre was born in a place called the Silvermarch, the fourth child of his father, who was in the service of the Lord of Tears.

Called the Mourning Knight in his own land because of his colors, teardrops on a blue field, Rortyre was known for butchery no matter the cost. In his capacity as a knight, he was relied upon to send messages to opponents of the father of his familial house and the Lord of Tears.

He was from an early age psychopathic and apathetic. As he grew up, so violence grew in the region. It was soon brought to the attention of the King that he was out of bounds, that he had robbed and sacked villages outside his jurisdiction, and that he had killed civilians, including children.

To save face and a difficult situation with the King, the Lord of Tears expelled Rortyre from the Silvermarch and from the Kingdom of Rivermere proper.

He and his small group of followers, all rough beasts and every one of them a former soldier of his family, sailed East toward the rising sun and found the coasts lush and waiting for them.

Rumors have spread along the coasts of him; he serves neither Jotnar nor the freedom fighters. Rortyre is a humiliated, banished knight in search of riches and a clawhold in a newfound land ripe and ill prepared for him.
